Storytelling for Change--Exploring Your #HealMeToo Story: A #HealMeToo Festival Workshop
PRESENTED:
Sunday 4/7 from 10am to 1pm
LENGTH OF WORKSHOP: 3 hours
At IRT Theater:
154 Christopher St. NYC (west of Hudson)
Buzz 3-2-Call (third floor)
Join us for a supportive storytelling workshop to locate and explore a personal story from your life about a moment when you experienced any kind of healing from the impacts of gendered oppression or sexual violence.
This workshop will be led by Micaela Blei and Onnesha Roychoudhuri who met as expert facilitators and storytellers at The Moth. They are now part of Speech/Act, a social-justice-oriented storytelling collective. Blei and Roychoudhuri will lead up to 12 participants in locating and developing a story on our guiding theme: #HealMeToo Moments.
To honor where fellow survivors may be at and minimize triggering, our focus wont dwell on graphic details. Together, well learn storytelling fundamentals, and experience brainstorming exercises focused on how our #MeToo experiences have led to a moment of healing, however seemingly small. Maybe it was a time when something shifted or lifted just a bit. Maybe you noticed signs of progress or even a breakthrough. It could be about a time you didnt think you were healing at all. Or the moment when you asked your community to change in order to move forward. We invite you to let these stories be as various, surprisingand also joyfulas healing itself can be.
